Raycast Extensions Scraper — Store API Dataset

Export the entire Raycast Store (~3,400 extensions) as a clean Raycast extensions dataset: titles, authors, download counts, categories, supported platforms (macOS / Windows), command counts, AI tool counts, and store, source and README URLs.

There is no other Raycast Store scraper on Apify Store. Use this Actor as a Raycast extensions API alternative when you need structured JSON/CSV for directories, market research or monitoring — the full catalog in under a minute.

Why this scraper

• Full catalog export. Pages the public Store API and de-duplicates results.
• AI extensions only. Keep only extensions that expose Raycast AI tools (~300 today).
• Category filter (productivity, developer-tools, ai, web, …).
• Keyword search across title, name, description and author.
• Sort by downloads, name or last update, with a minimum-downloads threshold.
• Fast. Pure JSON API. No browser, no proxy, no login.

Use cases

• Extension authors benchmarking downloads against competitors
• Market research on macOS/Windows productivity tools and AI-agent integrations
• Lead lists of extension developers and their GitHub source folders
• Spotting new extensions (sort by updated) and Windows-ready extensions
• Scheduled snapshots to chart download growth

FAQ

Is it legal? Reads only the public, unauthenticated store listings that the Raycast Store website itself loads (backend.raycast.com/api/v1/store_listings). raycast.com's robots.txt allows crawling except account and settings pages. No private account data.

How fresh is the data? Fetched live on every run. Schedule the Actor to build a history.
